Must Have Sony Accessories
Update 7/26/17: We’ve added a lot of new products to this list and modified the links so that they bring non-U.S. readers to their regional Amazon sites, not the U.S. site.
The Sony a7, a7II, a7R, a7S and a6000 are incredible cameras, and these accessories make the systems even better. This list of must have Sony accessories was compiled by our readers and Sony readers all around the world. They’ll help you get more out of your Sony a7, a7R, a7S, a7II and a6000 (plus older NEX cameras). From remote triggers to lens hoods to filters to battery packs, these accessories will simplify your life, streamline your workflow and improve your photography.
